You can check out their site at www.storycenter.org where you can read their digital story telling recipe book, see case studies and order more resources. The Center for Digital Storytelling has done digital storytelling workshops and training all over the world, and worked on a variety of health and social issues, such as domestic violence and the impacts of HIV/AIDS. Check out a project they collaborated on in 2007 with HIV positive people in South Africa called Amplifying Voices. As the site for this project says the digital stories are made available as advocacy tools &#8211; an increasingly common goal of first person narratives, the idea being that the stories and experiences of real people told in their own voices are particularly potent for raising social and health issues and removing stigma. In Australia we can thank ACMI (The Australian Centre [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All sorts of interesting collaborative art/social change/community doco work has been going on in various parts of Africa for many years &#8211; I recall several years ago at the first 2 Fires Conference in Braidwood NSW (Australia)  meeting a woman who had been facilitating participatory art projects with AIDS orphans with fascinating result&#8230; HIV and AIDS continue to motivate a lot of collaborative art/doco work in Africa, including being one of the motivating factors for a number of projects run by the Centre for Visual Methodologies at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. The CVM is seeking to improve visual methods in social research as well as promote cultural production of media as a form of education &#8211; and has taken up HIV AIDS as a key theme in their work.
